Will Puerto Rico finally vote for statehood if their economy gets hosed up enough? It's like half manufacturing for some insane reason when it should really be the east coasts hawaii

Seriously why would I live in PR when I can buy a house for about a shitload cheaper on a better Caribbean island like Martinique?

Because pr is ostensibly part of the first world?

so how would this be different if puerto rico was a state? ive heard something about the way they got the debt, and something about how they can get out of it, would be different but i am ignorant

If they were a state they couldn't do all the weird stuff that keeps their manufacturing competitive with the mainland and muggy force their economy to rely more on tourism for money
